[digiKam-users] Errors in showing HEIF/HEIC images from Apple devices

[Maik Qualmann]

Unfortunately, there are no sample HEIF images in portrait mode from IOS11 on 
the web. From IOS11, additional information is stored in the HEIF image so 
that the portrait mode can also be undone. Maybe it has something to do with 
that.
